Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

Chapter 331 The Bone Dragon Bound to the Endless Abyss! Link 4! Dragon-Locking Serpent - Four-Faced Skeleton Demon!

Without any hesitation, You Yang immediately pointed to the [Ancient Fairy Dragon] on the field and said:

"I'll activate the monster effect of [Ancient Fairy Dragon] immediately!"

"It can only be launched during its main phase."

Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand.

"As a trade-off, you absolutely cannot enter the combat phase during the turn this effect is activated."

"I choose to Special Summon my [Summoner Monk]!"

As a deep, dark green light flickered across the dueling arena, an elderly monk, dressed in a heavy, deep purple robe and clutching a jewel-encrusted staff, slowly emerged with steady steps.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, his face weathered yet dignified, surrounded by ancient incantations and talismans that emitted a faint glow, making him appear exceptionally solemn and mysterious.

[Summoner Monk] [4-Star] [Dark/Mage Race] [Attack: 800 / Defense: 1600]

"Next, I activate the monster effect of [Summoner Monk]!"

You Yang's fingers flew, quickly drawing a card from his hand. "Once per turn, you can discard 1 Spell Card from your hand to the Graveyard as a cost to activate this effect."

Special Summon 1 Level 4 monster from your Deck.

"Furthermore, monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot declare an attack this turn."

With a flick of his wrist, You Yang mercilessly sent the magic card into the graveyard slot: "I'm discarding the magic card in my hand, [Handbook Annihilation]!"

Special Summon the second [Treasure Panda] from your Deck!

boom!

A cloud of white smoke exploded, and the panda explorer, dressed in full adventure gear and carrying a backpack, made a dazzling reappearance under the guidance of the discarded magic card, standing firmly on Youyang's front line!

【Treasure-Hunting Panda】【★4】【Earth/Beast】【Attack: 1100 / Defense: 2000】

As he watched the figure appear on the field, a chilling glint flashed in You Yang's eyes.

He clenched his fist in mid-air: "Now, I will stack the level 4 [Treasure Panda] and the level 4 [Summoning Monk] on the field!"

"Construct overlapping hypernetic networks!"

As Youyang announced this, a deep supermassive vortex slowly formed in mid-air.

However, unlike the previous supermassive vortexes filled with violent lightning and rapid rotation, this mid-air vortex appeared unusually strange.

It didn't rotate violently inward; instead, it made a dull clicking sound.

It was as if an enormous mechanical pocket watch was ticking heavily, forcibly distorting the flow of time around it.

"The chaotic demon forgotten at the end of time, bridging the gap between the past and the future!"

You Yang looked up, and gray lines converged at his fingertips, forming a card!

"Let the scales of time devour everything, and let the flow of this battlefield utterly collapse!"

"Xyz Summon! Descend! [No. 60 Dugares of the Unknown]!"

Accompanied by a deafening demonic shriek, like rusty gears grinding wildly, the chaotic rift in the void, woven from the deep dark starry sky and blue-purple demonic light, was violently torn open.

A gray-white figure, exuding an aura of ancient times, slowly descended from the end of that time rift.

Its massive body was covered in heavy, dark blue armor that looked as if it had been cast from a mixture of night and molten lava, and its withered claws gripped a twisted staff inlaid with the phantom of a reversed hourglass.

With each heavy flap of its enormous, ominous black wings in mid-air, it scattered shattered, shimmering clockwork patterns in the surrounding air, as if time itself were collapsing beneath its feet.

【No. 60 Dugares of Unknown Time】【Tier 4】【Fire Attribute/Xyz/Demonic Race】

Attack Power: 1200 / Defense Power: 1200

"Oh? Another brand new numbered monster?"

Standing on the opposite side, Gu Qingyuan narrowed his lifeless eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his pale face.

He never imagined that, after collecting almost all the scattered super monsters over the years, You Yang would still be able to continuously pull out these rare new numbered monsters.

However, this look of surprise lasted only a moment before it was replaced by the indifference in his eyes.

But all of this had long since lost its meaning for him; after all, he had already achieved his goal.

Gu Qingyuan crossed his arms, looked up at the dark crack in the sky that was expanding outwards, and frowned slightly into the shape of a "川" (river).

"The speed of its arrival seems to be much slower than I predicted..."

He pondered to himself, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

Even though most of the seal has been destroyed, the legendary great evil god still hasn't been able to completely break free of the seal.

Is it still in a weakened state?

Gu Qingyuan snorted coldly in his heart, a hint of undisguised irritation showing on his ordinary face.

But then he thought about it again. He had already endured over a hundred years, and now that he was about to succeed, he naturally didn't mind waiting a little longer.

I had no choice but to be patient and endure it for a little longer.

In that instant of distraction, You Yang's cold, sharp voice boomed across the battlefield, relentlessly:

"I will immediately activate the monster effect of [Number 60, Dugares of the Unknown] on the field!"

"The effect of this card name can only be used once per turn."

"You can remove 2 Xyz Materials from this card and activate 1 of the following effects."

"● Draw 2 cards yourself. After that, discard 1 card from your hand. Skip the next draw phase."

"●Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position. Skip your next Main Phase 1."

"●The ATK of 1 monster you control becomes doubled until the end of this turn. Skip the Battle Phase of your next turn."

Yu Yang slashed his hand across the Duel Disk and loudly proclaimed, "I remove its two Xyz Materials and choose to activate the first effect!"

Having received the command, [No. 60 Dugares of the Unknown] in mid-air suddenly swung the strange, twisted staff in his hand.

The immense starlight that had been swirling around it was immediately drawn into the hourglass at the top of the staff by an invisible suction force.

Immediately afterwards, the hourglass burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into a tangible stream of light that precisely and forcefully drew out two brand-new cards from the top of the Youyang deck.

"As a follow-up to the effect, I choose to discard the monster card [Treasure Panda] in my hand."

With sharp eyes, You Yang quickly scanned his hand, which now contained six cards. He decisively drew one of them, exerted force with his fingertips, and forcefully shoved it into the graveyard.

After swapping his cards, he flipped his hand and pulled out a card, inserting it back into the Duel Disk.

"Then, I immediately activated the spell card—[Pot of Greed]!"

You Yang shouted coldly, "This card can only be activated by targeting 5 monsters in your Graveyard."

"Shuffle those 5 monsters back into your deck, and after that, you can draw 2 more cards from your deck!"

A gigantic terracotta pot, carved with a ferocious and greedy smiling face, suddenly materialized on the battlefield, opening its maw like a black hole.

You Yang waved his arm, pointing directly at the graveyard: "I will use the [Sealed One's Right Foot], [Sealed One's Left Foot], [Sealed One's Right Wrist] that were just sent into the graveyard, as well as the two [Fire Hell Guardian Dragons], a total of five monsters, as the targets!"

"Return them all to the deck!"

"Then, I draw two more cards from my deck!"

Om-!

As the card's phantom flickered, five dazzling streaks of light shot up from Youyang's graveyard, like shooting stars flying backwards, and were all sucked into the Pot of Greed. They then transformed into pure energy and flowed back into Youyang's deck.

With a sharp look in his eyes, You Yang took advantage of the surge of energy and placed his right hand on top of the deck once again. With an unstoppable momentum, he suddenly pulled out two more cards from the top of the deck!

"Isn't the boss's goal to filter out the cards he draws?"

"Why bother shuffling so many monsters back into the deck, artificially increasing its thickness?"

Lena, standing in the safe area behind, scratched her head, her pretty face full of confusion, clearly not understanding the logic behind this move.

A Kiskiller next to her tapped her on the head and explained irritably:

"You idiot Lena, have you forgotten that the [Treasure-Hunting Panda] is still on the field?!"

"The parts that just returned to the deck are all Normal Monsters."

"As long as the conditions are met, those normal monsters can be Special Summoned unconditionally at any time by the monster effect of [Treasure Panda]".

She crossed her arms and proudly analyzed the brilliance of this tactic.

"So this doesn't increase the deck's actual strength at all. On the contrary, by using shuffling and targeted summons, it actually further reduces the deck's remaining strength!"

"I see!"

Lena nodded in sudden realization, a hint of admiration for Youyang's tactics flashing in her eyes.

Sure enough, during their conversation, You Yang added the two brand-new cards he had drawn through the Pot of Greed to his hand and immediately launched a new offensive.

"I activate the effect of the [Treasure Panda] monster on the field again!"

You Yang's eyes were sharp as knives. "As a price, banish the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] that was just sent to the Graveyard, and Special Summon [Infernal Guardian Dragon] from the Deck again!"

The raging flames once again soared into the sky in the dueling arena. The [Infernal Guardian Dragon], clad in its heavy, scratched blue metal armor, let out a low roar and landed steadily on Youyang's front line once more.

【Infernal Guardian Dragon】【★1】【Fire/Adjustment/Dragon】【Attack: 100 / Defense: 2000】

With the reappearance of this adjustment monster, the dark blue virtual data stream that had been gradually calming down beside You Yang suddenly surged violently like boiling water!

You Yang's gaze was cold and stern. He pointed his finger forward sharply, and a dazzling and violent scarlet light bloomed in the void like a blood lotus!

A fierce wind howled, and the dark red data storm that swept across the entire venue was now fully formed!

Facing the fierce wind that could tear his robes apart, You Yang suddenly flicked his finger upwards, like a cruel king who held the power of life and death, precisely guiding the four monsters on the field.

They instantly transformed into four beams of energy, each a different color yet equally dazzling, like four shooting stars shooting against the current, hurtling straight toward the massive connecting array that had suddenly unfolded in the sky!

"The conditions for summoning this monster are—"

"Two or more monsters with completely different card names!"

"I'll use the four monsters on the field—[Infernal Guardian Dragon], [Ancient Fairy Dragon], [Number 60 Dugares of the Unknown], and [Left Arm of the Sealed One]—as Link Materials and set them to the Link Arrow!"

This time, the connecting circuit that appeared in mid-air did not emit the pure radiance that was usually intertwined with a sense of holiness and technology.

Conversely, when the four indicator arrows representing "up, down left, down, and down right" simultaneously lit up with an unsettling dark red light, the already scorched earth beneath their feet began to tremble violently, like an earthquake.
